Fiction

Fiction is a literary genre that involves the creation of stories from the imagination, rather than being strictly based on real events or factual accounts. It encompasses various forms including novels, short stories, and poetry, and can span multiple subgenres such as fantasy, science fiction, mystery, romance, and historical fiction. The primary characteristics of fiction include the development of characters, plotlines, and settings that are not factual but are created to convey themes, emotions, and experiences. Fiction allows authors to explore human experiences, provoke thought, entertain, and convey moral or philosophical messages through storytelling. While fiction may draw upon real-life elements, its core essence is imaginative storytelling that reflects the author’s creativity and insights.
